The OTI Digital Science Lab (DSL) is directed by Meir Marmor, MD and Safa Herfat, PhD. 

Our research aims to develop novel strategies and technology to treat orthopaedic trauma. 


Current clinical focus areas include: 
•    Acute Compartment Syndrome
•    Post-operative pain
•    Geriatric fractures
•    Adult tibia fractures
•    Wearable devices & outcome measurements
•    Imaging and classification

Using a collaborative cross-disciplinary approach, our lab offers expertise in engineering, clinical research, and data science, in the following domains: 
•    Data – predictive modeling and retrospective analysis of large clinical datasets and prospective collected longitudinal biometrics
•    Imaging - MSK Ultrasound and Kinect Cameras
•    Sensors – Implantable sensors and wearable technologies to monitor injury recovery
•    Simulation and modeling – Experimental Biomechanics, Finite Element Analysis, Machine Learning

Funding for our laboratory includes the Department of Defense (DOD), National Science Foundation (NSF), AO Foundation, NSF Center for Disruptive Musculoskeletal Innovation (CDMI), and the Orthopaedic Trauma Association (OTA).
